Is there a way to boot a Gentoo/Knoppix CD and make it use the PATA

You do the labeling *before* you switch to the new kernel. Once you
get it working correctly with your current kernel, then you can
upgrade to the new ATA drivers and it will just work (which is the
whole point of this exercise.)
I hadn't thought of that feature. It should work regardless of which
kernel I boot, either the old IDE drivers or the new PATA drivers. Cool !!!
Time to start taking notes and putting ducks beaks to duck tails.
